Hi Lionel, Well normally, i use xine as my favourity player, but also here, i dont`t hear anything. Maybe it is just is simple error, but i started even from scratch, removing my local xine-Configuration. i may switch on digital passthrough, but my amp does not get any signal. Yes, it works under M$, yes, it worked with my old Sblive5.1!
I don`t have a Platinum eX, but an orginary Audigy 2 , but i doubt, that there are large differences.. Could you show me the output of your /proc/asound/Audigy2/emu10k1? Maybe i find some differences..
